Gigabyte GSmart Guru - User Reviews

  • I had this phone for 3 years, and I have the same problem. Battery is very bad. Even if I fully recharge, it will shut off in 10 min. Sometimes my screen completely freezes and I have to do a restart by long pressing the power button. This phone is not a best option.

  • I have this phone. Its a tank :D It fell like 50 times and the screen is still like new (cannot say the same about back). I didnt know the specs to this day and I am surprised. It runs like s*it but has ok specs, why? Thanks

  • Well, I use this phone for almost 2 years now and it started doing same strange things like previous people said in opinions, sometimes it won't charge, sometimes my screen completely freezes and I have to do a restart by long pressing the power button, In my case I used apps such as avast battery saver and phone clean to keep it running smooth without lags and it helped a lot. Overall it's a great budget smartphone and I would recommend it, although you need to be careful with drops because the screen is very fragile but it can be avoided with tempered glass or case.

  • I've had this phone for 18 months now. I am surprised how the screen hasn't broken at all as I have had it fell many times on the rocks (about 1-2 meter falls). Only the back side of the phone has gotten some damages and dents. Considering that I use a lot of apps during the day, the 2 day battery life is absolutely ok for me with the 200 euro price. However, one day the phone shut itself down and I wasn't sure if it was just the battery that died. Well, I couldn't turn it on anymore. Nothing helped, no factory reset, no nothing. I have no idea what causes this problem. Furthermore, as I was trying to switch it on again about 2 weeks later. IT DID! But I got only a 30 minute use out of it as the same thing happened again (The battery wasn't drained either). So I've been trying to turn on the phone for quite some time now and sometimes it doesn't, but it turns off again after an hour or so. Another problem that I had with the phone is that it stopped charging from its original charger (it charged other phones). I tried to use my old phone charger and it worked wonders. Some time later the charger stopped charging the phone again, so I bought a new one, and again, it worked.

  • pull out your battery..place it again and try again it might help you.. :)

  • Same issue with batery, phone just die after one year of using.

  • it might be the charger... try to change the usb cable.. it happened to me too

  • plz boost up ur battery with battery booster or any 5 volt dc for 2 minutes then plug in ur battery and charge your phone,,,,,

  • Hi can anyone please tell me why the phone wont turn on. ive had it for a year and this is the first time this has happened the battery went down to 0% so i charged it for a day and NOTHING happened. what do i have to do to turn it on? pls help me otherwise its a great phone and i recommend it to all

  • I have too problem with my phone battery. I'm with this phone not more than 10 months and now i have really big problem. My phone doesn't want to charge. I tried everything (that i can), but nothing. Now i can't use my phone because i can't turn it on. Can you tell me what i have to do?

  • exact same issue dropped off and screen completely destroy, can not use the touch screen now.

  • I have the same problem, now for 3 time shut down and it was repairt 2 times :/

  • I have this phone for allmost 2 years. I had to turn off sim lock because phone keeps randomly (sometimes more, sometimes less often) disconnecting from internet and mobile network. Also battery drops now very fast.

  • i love this ting wow .....only dat ive failed to upgrade its android

  • I have this phone for 7 months and I am happy with the phone, the camera is solid but the battery blow my minde away, 2 days if you dont play games and use app killer. All in all a great phone, I have to admit I was scared at first when I read the comments here but I decided to buy it anyway. Sorry for my bad english its a foreing language for me..

  • hey guys i have this phone now for about 2 months and now my back camera doesn't work!! i can't rotate the camera, only the front one is working! any ideas what should i do?

  • I have this phone for one week and already makes me very nervous. I wanted to make security pin when i open the phone and i set the password as it is written in the manual. I am completely sure that i am not mistaking the password because i have it for each devise in my home. I am entering the password it says incorrect and you can try 5 times and after that makes you wait for 30 seconds and try again 5 times and again wait for 30 seconds and again and again and again....its endless....its not asking for your PUK or something else .... WHAT SHALL I DO???

  • Oh god, why didn't i find this before buying it!! :D I bought it and on like 2nd week it fell and screen broke, one part of the broken screen doesnt work. 2months later it stopped charging for no reason and couldnt turn it on. The repair costs 200euros, like new phone... My friend took it to some guy and he did fix the charging problem kinda. Now i can turn it on and use it, but its battery is all fukd up. I wish i would have bought xperia z instead of this, only 60euros more and much better quality of phone and also the repair and everything.

  • I have the same problem starting from yesterday, and the phone is in safe mode since.

  • My side volume are not working anymore. Do you have any ideas why? Have anyone else already had this problem? Respectfull

  • Hello everybody..I found the another solution about problem with power..simply you need to remove back side where is battery (you will need to remove five or six screws) then remove black tape that is connecting battery to the upper side of back side..you will see the some pins..put them back into postion that searchs for and voila press power button..your Guru G1 should get runnin'..thrust me, I had this problem to, so i get on with mine and sovled my problem..cheers :D

  • if u know even a nearly nothing about hw u cant say something such stupid... snapdragon 600 in S4 is 1.9Ghz cortex A15 with adreno 320, this crap has only MTK6589T A7x4x1.5ghz with povervr sgx544mp2... howgh

  • if it doesn't turn on for no reason just hold volumedown and power button for 10 sec i worked for me

  • You blame the phone, because you yourself dropped the phone? That's dumb.

  • I bought mobile phone and it says it has 3000 mAh Battery, so it is a mistake, it has 3000 aMh battery. By the way phone is so good, better then s4 :)

  • Clap clap clap ...

  • I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PHONE TO ANYONE! I bought it for about 200 EUROS, the same day a sat on a chair and the phone slipped out of my pants and fell down from a distance less then a meter, the result: Broken screen, touch doesn't work, I called for repair and the repair costs about 200 EUR, so this phone basically is a scam, they sell it to you at a low price, but they charge you the same price if u want to repair it. But G that is Smart. Now I'm left with a fresh phone that I can't use and I have thrown out more then 200 EUR, I would probably think about repair, but when I get it repaired the question is how long it would take to break down again. :D

  • same problem with sticking. just hold long power button and he will restart. but i called services for him and they sad there is alot phones like that. so i think that this series have some big problems :)

  • extremely easy to crack the screen. dropped it from a height of a crouching dog on accident and smashed it completely, touch sensors also don't work.

  • My G Smart Guru mobile is hanged since yesterday, I am not able to any thing .... shut down or switch on. Pls get me the solution what to do.

  • The Phone doesn't support microSD cards (no slot).

  • Have it for 6 months, 1st one was ok for 3 months sended it to service and after month got new one, loud speaker died they couldn't provide parts for it... 2nd new one i got as replacement was ok until now, this one have defective ear speaker again after 3 months, will send it to service today and never buy gsmart again as it seams they have longer battery life than phone life lol

  • it's 1.5 QUAD core

  • it have PowerVR SGX544MP video with one core. not mp2

  • I have this phone for last couple of weeks. It was turned off (not intentionally) and now I can't start it. I did everything: holding start button for more than 10s, combination with volume button, but everything failed....

  • I have Guru for some time, and the verdict is: IT is outstanding!!!! AMAZING. No lag at all, screen it's not a screen its a masterpiece. Baterry life 3 days + Thanks Gigabyte, your earned the compliments.
